Upon hearing Su Yu’s instructions, Yuan Bao instantly understood what he meant. After Qiming’s poisoning, letting him know that the young master knew Xing Qian, what would he do? It seemed quite intriguing.
“Don’t you find it interesting, Yuan Bao?” Su Yu asked cheerfully, resting his chin on his hand.
Yuan Bao nodded silently, carefully considering that it was indeed quite interesting.
By plotting against Qiming in this way, the young master might truly let go.
“Should I tell Madam about this matter?” Yuan Bao was concerned that Qiming might cause trouble for Wang Jinhe in the future.
“I will tell her. You don’t need to say anything,” Su Yu said, looking at Yuan Bao.
“Yes.”
As Qiming left Su Yu’s residence and went to his temporary lodging, he held his chest, which still throbbed with pain, reminding him of what had happened earlier.
“Master, Su Yu has changed.”
Qiming remained silent, knowing that Su Yu had indeed changed.
During the previous investigation, he didn’t think Su Yu’s transformation was significant. It was only after real contact that he realized Su Yu was completely different from before.
His previous understanding of Su Yu was now useless.
“That young boy from before has completely changed.”
“Master, how did he find out about those things? How did he know about the incident with Yang Shan shan?” How did he know?
If it were just this, the guard wouldn’t be worried, but he was concerned that Qiming’s poisoning was related to Su Yu. However, he had no evidence at the moment, and he feared that the master wouldn’t believe him if he spoke up.
“Go and investigate Wang Jinhe. I want to know every detail.”
“Yes.”
Soon, Wang Jinhe’s information was placed on Qiming’s desk. Qiming looked at the contents.
A young unmarried woman, pregnant out of wedlock, chose to give birth to a stranger’s child. Su Yu learned about all this when the child was over three years old.
Wang Jinhe was known for her kindness and indecisiveness, not assertive enough. She forgave those who had hurt her, even working with them to earn money. She was also the true daughter of the Gu family in Xuan Empire, switched at birth, and now the young lady of the Gu family was constantly trying to get rid of her.
Gu Xiruo, this person still had some value.
The most valuable thing in Wang Jinhe’s hands was the fruits and vegetables she grew, which could apparently nourish the body and even be sold at a high price.
“It’s quite interesting. A person who was supposed to be dead suddenly regained consciousness and became a different person.”
Before falling into the water, Wang Jinhe was just an ordinary girl, and she wouldn’t have known how to grow fruits and vegetables that could nourish the body.
After falling into the water, Wang Jinhe was able to achieve this, which was quite intriguing.
“Master, do you mean…?”
“Yes.”
“I understand what to do.”
Qiming rested his chin on his hand, looking at everything he knew about Wang Jinhe. He wondered if the people from the Wang family knew that their daughter had changed.
Yu Qingfeng looked at the people at the door, his brow furrowed. “Who are you?”
The leader was a large monk, surrounded by some completely unfamiliar people who were not from Xie Family Village.
What were they doing here?
“You have a demon in your house. It’s your demon that has made our lives difficult. We’ve come to ask the master to come and capture the demon.”
Yu Qingfeng looked coldly at the speaker. These people were clearly not from this area. They had come to his house to talk about capturing a demon, which was truly ridiculous.
As Yu Qingfeng was about to speak, Wang Jinhe came out of the house with her child and looked at the people at the door with some confusion. “Dad, who are these people?”
“It’s her. She’s the demon. Please, master, take her away so that our lives can return to normal,” one of the individuals said.
Wang Jinhe’s eyes showed a moment of confusion, but she quickly regained her composure. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Is this just a groundless accusation? The master will know once he has examined me,” Wang Jinhe said, as everyone’s gaze turned to the so-called master.
Seeing them act this way, Wang Jinhe knew there was no reasoning with them. These people had come intentionally to cause trouble.
“If I am not, then what?” Wang Jinhe asked calmly.
“You cannot bear the charge of slandering a county’s princess,” the newcomer seemed unafraid of Wang Jinhe and spoke directly. “You are a demon. How else could you grow fruits and vegetables that nourish the body? You weren’t like this before you fell into the water. It doesn’t make sense that you fell into the water once and then suddenly knew everything.”
Wang Jinhe understood that these people had come prepared. However, she was unsure who was causing trouble for her.
Looking at the lead monk, Wang Jinhe spoke up, “I wonder what the master plans to do?”
Yu Qingfeng was momentarily puzzled by Wang Jinhe’s intentions.
“Yuan Bao,” Wang Jinhe interrupted as the monk was about to speak.
Yuan Bao, who was inside the house, hurried out. “Madam, what’s happening?”
“Investigate everyone here, bring their families here, and also bring all the monks from the temple where this master is from,” Wang Jinhe instructed. Yuan Bao frowned slightly as he looked at the lead monk. “Yes, Madam.”
The lead monk frowned at Wang Jinhe. “What are you trying to do?”
“I’m not trying to do anything. I just want you to know the cost of slandering a county’s Princess and an Imperial princess,” Wang Jinhe said, beginning to reflect on herself. Was she too easy to get along with, allowing anyone to trample on her? Whether they knew her or not, they dared to lay hands on her.
“A monk should have a pure mind and not be swayed by slander,” Wang Jinhe continued.
“It’s a matter of course. All that’s needed is to prove that the you are not a demon” the monk replied.
“What if I am not?” Wang Jinhe looked coldly at the monk, who had yet to speak. But before he could respond, a bystander spoke up, “If you’re not, then what can we do?”
Wang Jinhe chuckled softly, genuinely angry for the first time. ” Yuan Lin, take away and give him thirty lashes. Release him when he’s ready to speak,” she said calmly, pointing at the person who had insulted her.
“Yes,” Yuan Lin gestured, and a few guards came forward, pressing him to the ground in full view of the public. The sound of the blows echoed as if heavy punches were landing on the troublemaker’s chest.
After the beating, Wang Jinhe walked up to the man, looking at the bloody mess at his waist. “Are you ready to speak now?”
“You can come to prove that I’m a demon, but I have a condition,” Wang Jinhe turned to address everyone present. “If I’m not, each of you will receive fifty lashes, including your families and all the people in the monk’s temple,” she said, looking at them with an impeccable smile.
